Ballot Type: Computer

Submitted: Sept. 10, 2023, 7:19 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Poll rewards wins, penalizes losses and gives extra points for road/neutral wins and P5 wins. Needs a few weeks to normalize the data to where things don't look so wonky (ie, Georgia not ranked due to only 1 G5 win and an FCS win)
